    This furore over the kit hasn’t half taken attention away from the fact we have a game tomorrow and still appear no nearer to having a manager.

    A Tory’esque dead cat if ever there was one.

    I see the current favourites are Chris Wilder and Nathan Jones - though I don’t see either as being that likely as we wouldn’t pay them what they’d want and don’t have the playing budget they’d want either.

    Am I wrong to think it’s just bookies b*llocks, and no more than that, that they’re favourites currently?

    If bookies have had money pit on them, they will shorten the odds. Given both "favourites" are 2-1, that suggests to me the market is purely based on money and nothing concrete, in the know etc.

    If I put £100 on Pep Guardiola today, he'd go to the top of the betting.

    I mean I was exaggerating a bit, but you get my point.

    They're hoping we smash Worksop 9 nil so they can give the job to Disco

    And if Worksop smash us 9-0, they can give it to Paul Chuckle.
